In 1988, Paul had a misfortune with taxes and security. It was indicated that his earning was fraudulent. Dan was still as young as eight years old at that time. Their biggest mansion was foreclosed in 2016.

Paul was relocated to the Caribbean to escape from being arrested. Before he was accused of the serious crime, Paul already had set up a trust fund for his sons, Dan and Adam.
